Congratulations to my sellers today.  Smooth closing!  Selling a home can be exciting and emotional.  I wish them the best of luck as they move on to their next path in life!  One door closes for another to open.   I've sold ALL of my Cary, NC area listings recently and I need more!!  I'm still g...

Stop the presses!  I've seen three posts on Twitter and Facebook announcing that the tax credit has been extended until 2010.  It's not true...yet. As of October 29th, 2009 at 2:37pm it was only proposed and agreed upon by Democrats and Republican's to move forward for a vote. Proposed is VERY di...

I've been helping a buyer client look in the half million dollar range in North Raleigh.  We've viewed several custom homes off Creedmoor Rd and Norwood Rds.  There are a TON of properties to choose from but nothing that screams deal.

I'd have to agree with most of these "rules". I have one VERY important rule to add to this list. 11. Thou shalt not buy a home behind your Realtors back and THEN ask them to help you.  The Realtor needs to be involved at all time including the contract...some people amaze me!  No amount of educa...

Google, Tweet and find me faster! Tweet, tweet says I!  If you'd like to propose real time information to your clients, potential buyers and sellers or just reach out to folks who haven't embraced all that the social media world offers...your words will now reach people faster than ever.   Think ...

How often do you receive a FRIEND REQUEST on Facebook from someone you don't know?  Do you accept it? How often do you track someone on Twitter who just has good info or witty comments?   What is the draw to meeting new people or tracking new products and services?  As an expert in Raleigh Real E...
